Description
4 Bute Esplanade is a two-storey plus attic building featuring two windows. The structure is made of stuccoed brick, with a rusticated ground floor. The roofs are tiled, and there are rendered chimneys, each topped with four pots. Each house has a single gabled dormer. The façade includes a parapet and a heavy cornice, with first-floor windows adorned with cornices and architraves. There is a band course at sill level and another band course above the rusticated ground floor. Number 4 has a bracketed cornice over its doorway, which is framed with architraves, while Number 3 is similar but has lost its cornice. Both houses feature porches with Minton-type tiled dados; the floor of Number 3 is tiled, while Number 4 has a mosaic floor. The inner doors are half-glazed with patterned frosted glass, and Number 3 retains its original five-panelled entrance door. The ground floor window of Number 4 has stucco voussoirs. Number 3 includes a semi-circular bay window with a balustrade, dentil cornice, and Tuscan pilasters acting as mullions, sitting on a grey stone plinth. Number 3 has horned sash glazing, while Number 4 has replacement glazing. At the rear, each house has a two-storey extension featuring a tall chimney stack.
